76

NY\6127033.17



Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent from such Loan Party in the Agreement Currency, such Loan Party each agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Loan Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
SECTION 1.09    Pro Forma Calculations.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, financial ratios and tests, including the First Lien Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio, the Total Assets and the Interest Coverage Ratio shall be calculated in the manner prescribed by this Section 1.09; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 1.09(b), (c) or (d), (i) when calculating the First Lien Leverage Ratio for purposes of the definition of “Prepayment Percentage” and (ii) determining actual compliance (and not pro forma compliance or compliance on a Pro Forma Basis) with Section 7.14, the events described in this Section 1.09 that occurred subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period shall not be given pro forma effect. In addition, whenever a financial ratio or test is to be calculated on a pro forma basis, the reference to the “Test Period” for purposes of calculating such financial ratio or test shall be deemed to be a reference to, and shall be based on, the most recently ended Test Period for which internal financial statements of the Borrower are available (as determined in good faith by the Borrower).
(b)    For purposes of calculating any financial ratio or test, Specified Transactions (with any incurrence or repayment of any Indebtedness in connection therewith to be subject to Section 1.09(d)) that have been made (i) during the applicable Test Period and (ii) if applicable as described in Section 1.09(a), subsequent to such Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that all such Specified Transactions (and any increase or decrease in Consolidated EBITDA and the component financial definitions used therein attributable to any Specified Transaction) had occurred on the first day of the applicable Test Period. If since the beginning of any applicable Test Period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged, amalgamated or consolidated with or into the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries since the beginning of such Test Period shall have made any Specified Transaction that would have required adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.09, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated to give pro forma effect thereto in accordance with this Section 1.09.
(c)    Whenever pro forma effect is to be given to Consolidated EBITDA with respect to a Specified Transaction, the pro forma calculations shall be made in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower and include, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of "run-rate" cost savings, operating expense reductions and synergies projected by the Borrower

77

NY\6127033.17



in good faith to be realizable as a result of specified actions taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (calculated on a pro forma basis as though such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, operating changes and synergies had been realized on the first day of such period and as if such cost savings, operating expense reductions, operating initiatives, operating changes and synergies were realized during the entirety of such period) and "run-rate" means the full recurring benefit for a period that is associated with any action taken, committed to be taken or expected to be taken (including any savings expected to result from the elimination of a public target's compliance costs with public company requirements) net of the amount of actual benefits realized during such period from such actions, in each case, subject to the limitations set forth in and consistent with the definition of Consolidated EBITDA.
(d)    In the event that the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs (including by assumption or guarantees) or repays (including by redemption, repayment, retirement or extinguishment) any Indebtedness included in the calculations of any financial ratio or test (in each case, other than Indebtedness incurred or repaid under any revolving credit facility), (i) during the applicable Test Period or (ii) subject to Section 1.09(a) subsequent to the end of the applicable Test Period and prior to or simultaneously with the event for which the calculation of any such ratio is made, then such financial ratio or test shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence or repayment of Indebtedness, to the extent required, as if the same had occurred on the last day of the applicable Test Period.
(e)    If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and is being given pro forma effect for the purposes of determining the Interest Coverage Ratio, the interest on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period (taking into account any Hedging Obligations applicable to such Indebtedness). Interest on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Borrower to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of making the computation referred to above, interest on any Indebtedness under a revolving credit facility computed with a Pro Forma Basis shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period except as set forth in the first paragraph of this definition. Interest on Indebtedness that may optionally be determined at an interest rate based upon a factor of a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate, or other rate, shall be determined to have been based upon the rate actually chosen, or if none, then based upon such optional rate chosen as the Borrower may designate.
SECTION 1.10    Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any L/C Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

78

NY\6127033.17



SECTION 1.01    Certifications. All certifications to be made hereunder by an officer or representative of a Loan Party or the German Borrower shall be made by such person in his or her capacity solely as an officer or a representative of such Loan Party or the German Borrower, as applicable, on such Loan Party’s or the German Borrower’s behalf and not in such Person’s individual capacity.
SECTION 1.02    Compliance with Article VII. In the event that any Lien, Investment, Indebtedness (whether at the time of incurrence or upon application of all or a portion of the proceeds thereof), Disposition, Restricted Payment, Affiliate transaction, Contractual Obligation or prepayment of Indebtedness meets the criteria of one or more than one of the categories of transactions then permitted pursuant to any clause of such Sections in Article VII, such transaction (or portion thereof) at any time shall be permitted under one or more of such clauses as determined by the Borrower in its sole discretion at such time.

SECTION 2.02    Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (%3) Each Term Borrowing, each Revolving Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans or Revolving Loans from one Type to the other and each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable (except as provided in Section 3.02, Section 3.03 and Section 3.04 herein) written notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent (x) with respect to any Borrowing on the Closing Date, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date that is (i) three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date for any Dollar-denominated Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) four (4) Business Days before the Closing Date for any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or (iii) one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date for any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, (y) with respect to any Borrowing following the Closing Date, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date that is (i) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Dollar-denominated Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Eurocurrency Rate Loans denominated in an Alternative Currency or (iii) one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, and (z) with respect to any continuation or conversion of Loans after the Closing Date, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Loans from one Type to the other; provided, however, that if the Borrower wishes to request Eurocurrency Rate Loans having an Interest Period other than one, three or six months in duration as provided in the definition of “Interest Period,” the applicable notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. four (4) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, whereupon the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Appropriate Lenders of such request and determine whether the requested Interest Period is available to all of them. Not later than 11:00 a.m., three Business Days before the requested date of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower whether or not the requested Interest Period is available to all the Lenders. Each notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) shall consist of delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c)(i) or Section 2.04(c)(i), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

81

NY\6127033.17

If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice with respect to a Borrowing in Dollars or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation with respect to a Borrowing in Dollars, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation with respect to a Borrowing in an Alternative Currency, then it will be deemed to have requested a conversion or continuation for an Interest Period of one (1) month. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period (or fails to give a timely notice requesting a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans), it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(e)    Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (or, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Sections 4.01 and 4.02), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower (or the German Borrower, as applicable) in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by wire transfer of such funds in accordance with instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.
(f)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.04 in connection therewith. During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(g)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurocurrency Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Appropriate Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the determination of such change.

82

NY\6127033.17



(h)    After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than twenty (20) Interest Periods in effect plus up to three (3) additional Interest Periods in respect of each Additional Facility.
(i)    The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(j)    For the avoidance of doubt, no conversion or continuation of any Loan pursuant to this Section shall affect the currency in which such Loan is denominated prior to any such conversion or continuation and each such Loan shall remain outstanding denominated in the currency originally issued.

U.S. Letters of Credit shall constitute utilization of the U.S. Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain U.S. Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain U.S. Letters of Credit to replace U.S. Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

Multicurrency Letters of Credit shall constitute utilization of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Multicurrency Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Multicurrency Letters of Credit to replace Multicurrency Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.
(i)    No L/C Issuer shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A)    any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C Issuer shall prohibit or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any material restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such L/C Issuer in good faith deems material to it;

such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the applicable L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to such L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Revolving Lenders of the applicable Class shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the L/C Expiration Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not (x) permit any such renewal if (A) such L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2.03(a) or otherwise) or (B) it has received notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent that the Required Revolving Lenders have elected not to permit such renewal or (y) be obligated to permit such renewal if it has received notice on or before the day that is seven Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Revolving Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied or waived, and in each such case directing such L/C Issuer not to permit such renewal.
(iii)    Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the applicable L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c)    Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (%4) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof, and such L/C Issuer shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. If such L/C Issuer notifies the Borrower in writing of any payment by such L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit prior to 3:00 p.m. on the date of such payment, the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing on the next succeeding Business Day; provided that if such notice is not provided to the Borrower prior to 3:00 p.m. on such payment date, then the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing on the second succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing fees in respect of such Letter of Credit. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify (i) in the case of any U.S. Letter of Credit, each U.S. Revolving Lender and (ii) in the case of any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender of such payment date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”) and the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Revolving Borrowing of Base Rate Loans (in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a U.S. Letter of Credit or a Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Rate Loans with a period of one month (in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency) to be disbursed on such payment date in an amount equal to such Unreimbursed Amount, without

87

NY\6127033.17



regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as applicable. Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (i) must be in writing.
(i)    Each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class (including each Revolving Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) of this Section make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office in an amount equal to its Revolving Percentage of the relevant Unreimbursed Amount not later than 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of paragraph (c)(iii) of this Section, each Revolving Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan (or, in the case of any Unreimbursed Amount in respect of a Multicurrency Letter of Credit denominated in an Alternative Currency, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan with an interest period of one month) to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the applicable L/C Issuer in accordance with the instructions provided to the Administrative Agent by such L/C Issuer (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by such L/C Issuer, provided that, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Administrative Agent).
(ii)    With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Revolving Borrowing because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the applicable L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on written demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans under the U.S. Revolving Facility; or Eurocurrency Rate Loans with an interest period of one month under the Multicurrency Revolving Facility, as applicable. In such event, each Revolving Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) of this Section shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation under this Section.
(iii)    Until each U.S. Revolving Lender funds its U.S. Revolving Loan or U.S. L/C Advance to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any U.S. Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer. Until each Multicurrency Revolving Lender funds its Multicurrency Revolving Loan or Multicurrency L/C Advance to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Multicurrency Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Multicurrency Revolving Percentage of such amount shall be solely for the account of such L/C Issuer.

88

NY\6127033.17



(iv)    (i) Each U.S. Revolving Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Revolving Loans or U.S. L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under U.S. Letters of Credit and (ii) each Multicurrency Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Multicurrency Revolving Loans or Multicurrency L/C Advances to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Multicurrency Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this paragraph (c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against such L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default; or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make Revolving Loans pursuant to this paragraph (c) is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of a participation in any Letter of Credit shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(v)    If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) by the time specified in paragraph (c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by such L/C Issuer in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such L/C Issuer in connection with the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the relevant Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the applicable L/C Issuer submitted to any Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d)    Repayment of Participations. (%4) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made payment in respect of any drawing under any U.S. Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any U.S. Revolving Lender its U.S. L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its U.S. Revolving Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s U.S. L/C Advance was outstanding) in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent. If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made payment in respect of any drawing under any Multicurrency Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any

89

NY\6127033.17



Multicurrency Revolving Lender its Multicurrency L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), if the Administrative Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Multicurrency Revolving Percentage thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s Multicurrency L/C Advance was outstanding) in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(i)    If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Revolving Lender of the applicable Class shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Revolving Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e)    Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i)    any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit or any term or provision thereof, any Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the applicable L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii)    any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv)    any payment by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not comply strictly with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the applicable L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any

90

NY\6127033.17



beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
(v)    any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit; or
(vi)    any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower (other than the defense of payment or performance);
provided that the foregoing in clauses (i) through (vi) shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s (or its Related Parties’) gross negligence, bad faith, material breach or willful misconduct, in each case, as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.
(f)    Role of L/C Issuer. Each Revolving Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the applicable L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by such Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any document. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Revolving Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Required Lenders; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or L/C Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts of omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower from pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the applicable L/C Issuer, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of such L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in Section 2.03(e); provided that, notwithstanding anything in such clauses to the contrary, the Borrower may have a claim against such L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct (as opposed to indirect, special, punitive, consequential or exemplary) damages suffered by the Borrower which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final nonappealable judgment were caused by such L/C Issuer’s (or its Related Parties’) gross negligence, bad faith, material breach or willful misconduct or such L/C Issuer’s (or its Related Parties’) willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of

91

NY\6127033.17



a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the applicable L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such L/C Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)    Applicability of ISP98 and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable L/C Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, the rules of the “International Standby Practices 1998” published by the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the time of issuance) shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
(h)    Conflict with L/C Application. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any L/C Application, the terms hereof shall control.
(i)    Reporting. Not later than the third Business Day following the last day of each month (or at such other intervals as the Administrative Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer shall agree), each L/C Issuer shall provide to the Administrative Agent a schedule of the Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, showing the date of issuance of each Letter of Credit, the account party, the original face amount (if any), the expiration date, and the reference number of any Letter of Credit outstanding at any time during such month, and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrower to such L/C Issuer during such month.
(a)    Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments. If the L/C Expiration Date in respect of any Expiring Credit Commitment occurs prior to the expiry date of any Letter of Credit, then (i) if one or more other Non-Expiring Credit Commitments in respect of which the L/C Expiration Date shall not have so occurred are then in effect, such Letters of Credit shall, to the extent such Letters of Credit could have been issued under such other tranches, automatically be deemed to have been issued (including for purposes of the obligations of the Revolving Lenders to purchase participations therein and to make Revolving Loans and payments in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 2.03(c) and (d)) under (and ratably participated in by Lenders pursuant to) the Non-Expiring Credit Commitments up to an aggregate amount not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of the unutilized Non-Expiring Credit Commitments at such time (it being understood that no partial face amount of any Letter of Credit may be so reallocated) and (ii) to the extent not reallocated pursuant to immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize any such Letter of Credit. At all times following the Maturity Date of any Expiring Credit Commitment, the sublimit for Letters of Credit shall in no event exceed the aggregate principal amount of Non-Expiring Credit Commitments then outstanding.
SECTION 2.04    Swingline Loans. (%3) The Swingline. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender, in reliance on the agreements of the U.S. Revolving Lenders set forth in this Section, agrees to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the Revolving Availability Period, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding such Swingline Lender’s Swingline

92

NY\6127033.17



Commitment; provided that, after giving effect to any Swingline Loan, (i) in no event shall the Total U.S. Revolving Outstandings exceed the U.S. Revolving Commitments then in effect and (ii) the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the U.S. Revolving Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all U.S. L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Commitment and (iii) the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans shall not exceed the Swingline Sublimit; provided, further, that no Swingline Lender shall be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans without premium or penalty. The Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment shall expire on the Maturity Date for the U.S. Revolving Facility. All Swingline Loans and all other amounts owed hereunder with respect to the Swingline Loans shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date for the U.S. Revolving Facility.
(a)    Borrowing Procedures for Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice shall be in the form of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, and must be received by the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than noon on the date of the requested Swingline Borrowing, and such notice shall specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be in a minimum of $500,000 or a larger multiple of $100,000 and (ii) the date of such Swingline Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). Promptly after receipt by a Swingline Lender of such notice, such Swingline Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has also received such notice and, if not, the Swingline Lender will notify the Administrative Agent of the contents thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower, by wire transfer thereof in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) such Swingline Lender, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the requested date of such Swingline Loan (which instructions may include standing payment instructions, which may be updated from time to time by the Borrower, provided that, unless the Swingline Lender shall otherwise agree, any such update shall not take effect until the Business Day immediately following the date on which such update is provided to the Swingline Lender). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make any Swingline Loans (A) if it has elected not to do so after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, (B) it does not in good faith believe that all conditions under Section 4.02 to the making of such Swingline Loan have been satisfied or waived by the Required Revolving Lenders or (C) at a time when any U.S. Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender as set forth in Section 2.18(c) and the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Swingline Loans has not been reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders or Cash Collateralized in full.
(b)    Refinancing of Swingline Loans.
(vi)    With respect to any Swingline Loans which have not been voluntarily prepaid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(ii) or repaid pursuant to clause (a) above, the Swingline Lender may at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver to the

93

NY\6127033.17



Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Lenders) with a copy to the Borrower, no later than 11:00 a.m. at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed Credit Extension, a notice (which shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice given by the Borrower) requesting that each U.S. Revolving Lender make U.S. Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans to the Borrower on the date of such Credit Extension in an amount equal to the amount of such Swingline Loans (the “Refunded Swingline Loans”) outstanding on the date such notice is given which the Swingline Lender requests Lenders to prepay. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (1) the proceeds of such U.S. Revolving Loans made by the Lenders other than the Swingline Lender shall be immediately delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Swingline Lender (and not to the Borrower) and applied to repay a corresponding portion of the applicable Refunded Swingline Loans and (2) on the day such U.S. Revolving Loans are made, the Swingline Lender’s U.S. Revolving Percentage of the Refunded Swingline Loans shall be deemed to be paid with the proceeds of a U.S. Revolving Loan made by the Swingline Lender to the Borrower, and such portion of the Swingline Loans deemed to be so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swingline Loans but shall instead constitute part of the Swingline Lender’s outstanding U.S. Revolving Loans. If any portion of any such amount paid (or deemed to be paid) to the Swingline Lender should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from the Swingline Lender in bankruptcy, by assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise, the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all U.S. Revolving Lenders in the manner contemplated by Section 2.13.
(vii)    If for any reason any Swingline Loan cannot be refinanced by such a U.S. Revolving Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) of this Section in an amount sufficient to repay any amounts owed to the Swingline Lender in respect of any outstanding Swingline Loans on or before the third Business Day after demand for payment thereof by the Swingline Lender, each of the U.S. Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to purchase, a participation in such outstanding Swingline Loans in an amount equal to its U.S. Revolving Percentage of the applicable unpaid amount together with accrued interest thereon. Upon one Business Day’s notice from the Swingline Lender, each U.S. Revolving Lender shall deliver to the Swingline Lender an amount equal to its respective participation in the applicable unpaid amount in same day funds at the Principal Office of the Swingline Lender. In order to evidence such participation, each such U.S. Revolving Lender agrees to enter into a participation agreement at the request of the Swingline Lender in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Swingline Lender.
(viii)    If any U.S. Revolving Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender any amount required to be paid by such U.S. Revolving Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph (c) by the time specified in paragraph (c)(ii), the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover from such U.S. Revolving Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swingline Lender at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect and a rate determined by the Swingline Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on

94

NY\6127033.17



interbank compensation, plus any reasonable administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by such Swingline Lender in connection with the foregoing. If such U.S. Revolving Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s U.S. Revolving Loan included in the relevant U.S. Revolving Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swingline Loan, as the case may be. A certificate of a Swingline Lender submitted to any U.S. Revolving Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(ix)    Each U.S. Revolving Lender’s obligation to make U.S. Revolving Loans or to purchase and fund participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the Swingline Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or Event of Default or (C) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of any Loan Party; (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; or (E) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that such obligations of each Lender are subject to the condition that Swingline Lender had not received prior notice from Borrower or the Required Revolving Lenders that any of the conditions under Section 4.02 to the making of the applicable Refunded Swingline Loans or other unpaid Swingline Loans, were not satisfied at the time such Refunded Swingline Loans or unpaid Swingline Loans were made. No such funding of participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swingline Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(c)    Repayment of Participations.
(ii)    At any time after any U.S. Revolving Lender has purchased and funded a participation in a Swingline Loan, if the Swingline Lender receives any payment on account of such Swingline Loan, such Swingline Lender will promptly remit such U.S. Revolving Lender’s applicable U.S. Revolving Percentage of such payment to the Administrative Agent (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such U.S. Revolving Lender’s participation was funded) in like funds as received by the Swingline Lender, and any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent will be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the U.S. Revolving Lenders that shall have funded their participations pursuant to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section to the extent of their interests therein.
(iii)    If any payment received by the Swingline Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swingline Loan is required to be returned by such Swingline Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swingline Lender in its discretion), each U.S. Revolving Lender shall pay to such Swingline Lender its applicable U.S. Revolving Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date

95

NY\6127033.17



such amount is returned at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swingline Lender. The obligations of the U.S. Revolving Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(d)    Payments Directly to Swingline Lenders. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender at its Principal Office.
(e)    Provisions Related to Extended Revolving Commitments. If the Maturity Date shall have occurred in respect of any tranche of Revolving Commitments, Additional Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments (such expiring tranche, the “Expiring Credit Commitment”) at a time when another tranche or tranches of Revolving Commitments, Additional Revolving Commitments or Extended Revolving Commitments available in Dollars is or are in effect with a longer Maturity Date (each, a “Non-Expiring Credit Commitment” and collectively, the “Non-Expiring Credit Commitments”), then with respect to each outstanding Swingline Loan, if consented to by the Swingline Lender, on the earliest occurring Maturity Date such Swingline Loan shall be deemed reallocated to the tranche or tranches of the Non-Expiring Credit Commitments on a pro rata basis; provided that (x) to the extent that the amount of such reallocation would cause the aggregate credit exposure to exceed the aggregate amount of such Non-Expiring Credit Commitments, immediately prior to such reallocation the amount of Swingline Loans to be reallocated equal to such excess shall be repaid or Cash Collateralized and (y) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall still be obligated to pay Swingline Loans allocated to the Revolving Lenders holding the Expiring Credit Commitments at the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment or if the Loans have been accelerated prior to the Maturity Date of the Expiring Credit Commitment. On the Maturity Date of any Expiring Credit Commitment, the sublimit for Swingline Loans shall be agreed solely with the Swingline Lender.
SECTION 2.05    Prepayments. (%3) Optional. (%4) Each of the Borrower and the German Borrower (as applicable) may, upon delivery of a Prepayment Notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans, in each case, in whole or in part without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.09(d)); provided that (A) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (1) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (2) one Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans); (B) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding and (C) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.

96

NY\6127033.17



forth in clause (iii) hereof, the Borrower (or the German Borrower, if applicable) shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.04. Each prepayment of any Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a) shall be applied to such Loans and in such order of maturity of principal installments as the Borrower (or the German Borrower, if applicable) may direct in its sole discretion; provided that, in the event the Borrower (or the German Borrower, if applicable) fails to specify the Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied, first, to repay outstanding Swingline Loans on a pro rata basis until paid in full, second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Revolving Loans and the Multicurrency Revolving Loans) on a pro rata basis across Classes and pro rata among Lenders within each Class until paid in full, and third, to prepay the Term Loans (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the U.S. Term Loans, the Euro Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans) on a pro rata basis across Classes and pro rata among Lenders within each Class in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof (which prepayments shall be applied to the scheduled installments of principal in direct order of maturity).

Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, unless rescinded, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(xi)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.05(a)(i) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Term Loan Facility or Revolving Facility or the occurrence of any other event, which refinancing or event shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
(xii)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including but not limited to Sections 2.07 and 2.13 (which provisions shall not be applicable to this Section 2.05(a)(iv))) or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, so long as a Responsible Officer of the Borrower has delivered a certificate confirming that (A) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and (B) no proceeds of Revolving Loans are used therefor, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries may prepay the outstanding Term Loans (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be automatically and permanently canceled immediately upon acquisition by the Borrower), or the Loan Parties or any of their

97

NY\6127033.17



Subsidiaries may purchase such outstanding Term Loans and immediately cancel them, on the following basis:
(A)    Any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right to make a voluntary prepayment of Loans at a discount to par pursuant to a Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment, Borrower Solicitation of Discount Range Prepayment Offers or Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers (any such prepayment, the “Discounted Loan Prepayment”), in each case made in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(iv).
(B)    (%6) Any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment by providing the Auction Agent five (5) Business Days’ notice substantially in the form of a Specified Discount Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such offer shall be made available, at the sole discretion of the Loan Party or such Subsidiary, to (x) each Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such offer shall specify the aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Class, the Class or Classes of Loans subject to such offer and the specific percentage discount to par (the “Specified Discount”) of such Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Specified Discounts and/or Specified Discount Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) subject to subsection (K) below, each such offer shall remain outstanding through the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Lender with a copy of such Specified Discount Prepayment Notice and a form of the Specified Discount Prepayment Response to be completed and returned by each such Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (which date may be extended upon notice by the applicable Loan Party or the Subsidiary to the Auction Agent) (the “Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date”).
(1)    Each Lender receiving such offer shall notify the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date whether or not it agrees to accept a prepayment of any of its applicable then outstanding Loans at the Specified Discount and, if so (such accepting Lender, a “Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender”), the amount and the Classes of such Lender’s Loans to be prepaid at such offered discount. Each acceptance of a Discounted Loan Prepayment by a Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable. Any Lender whose Specified Discount Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have

98

NY\6127033.17



declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discount Prepayment.
(2)    If there is at least one Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender, the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary will make a prepayment of outstanding Loans pursuant to this paragraph (B) to each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with the respective outstanding amount and Classes of Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discount Prepayment Response given pursuant to subsection (2) above; provided that, if the aggregate principal amount of Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discount Prepayment Amount, such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts accepted to be prepaid by each such Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (with the consent of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within three (3) Business Days following the Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary of the respective Lenders’ responses to such offer, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, and the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Loans to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date and (III) each Discount Prepayment Accepting Lender of the Specified Discount Proration, if any, and confirmation of the principal amount, Class and Type of Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Specified Discount on such date. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Loan Party and such Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Loan Party or Subsidiary shall be due and payable by such Loan Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (K) below).
(C)    (%6) Any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with 5 Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, to (x) each Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount of the relevant Loans (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”), the Class or Classes of Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the

99

NY\6127033.17



Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Loans with respect to each relevant Class of Loans willing to be prepaid by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) subject to subsection (K) below, each such solicitation by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Discount Range Prepayment Notice and a form of the Discount Range Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (which date may be extended by notice from the Loan Party or Subsidiary to the Auction Agent) (the “Discount Range Prepayment Response Date”).

(1)    The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (with the consent of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount and Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this subsection (C). The relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent within the Discount Range by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (I) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (II) the sum of all Submitted Amounts. Each Lender that has submitted a Discount Range

100

NY\6127033.17



Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following subsection (3)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”).
(2)    Subject to subsection (K) below, if there is at least one Participating Lender, the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary will prepay the respective outstanding Loans of each Participating Lender on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer at the Applicable Discount; provided that if the Submitted Amount by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the relevant Loans for those Participating Lenders whose Submitted Discount is a discount to par greater than or equal to the Applicable Discount (the “Identified Participating Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Participating Lenders in accordance with the Submitted Amount of each such Identified Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (with the consent of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”). The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five (5) Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (I) the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount, and the aggregate principal amount and Classes of Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to the Loan Party or Subsidiary shall be due and payable by such Loan Party on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (K) below).
(D)    (%6) Any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries may from time to time solicit offers for discounted prepayments by providing the Auction Agent with 5 Business Days’ notice in substantially the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided that (I) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the

101

NY\6127033.17



sole discretion of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, to (x) each Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Class of Loans on an individual Class basis, (II) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate amount of the Loans (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) and the Class or Classes of Loans the Loan Party or Subsidiary is willing to prepay at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to different Classes of Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section), (III) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $5,000,000 and whole increments of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (IV) subject to subsection (K) below, each such solicitation by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. The Auction Agent will promptly provide each Appropriate Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer in the form of Exhibit N to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m., on the third Business Day after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (which date may be extended upon notice from the Loan Party or Subsidiary to the Auction Agent) (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”). Each Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date, and (z) specify either one or more (but no more than three) discounts to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Classes of such Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount. Any Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Loans at any discount.
(1)    The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date. Such Loan Party or such Subsidiary shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the largest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Loan Party or Subsidiary in its sole discretion (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any. If the Loan Party or Subsidiary elects, in its sole discretion, to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this subsection (2) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Loan Party or Subsidiary may submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount. If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice in

102

NY\6127033.17



the form of Exhibit M from the Loan Party or Subsidiary by the Acceptance Date, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.
(2)    Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (with the consent of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this Section 2.05(a)(iv)(D). If the Loan Party or Subsidiary elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Loan Party or Subsidiary agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount. Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro-rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”). The Loan Party or Subsidiary may prepay outstanding Loans pursuant to this subsection (D) to each Qualifying Lender in the aggregate principal amount and of the Classes specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided that if the aggregate Offered Amount by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount, prepayment of the principal amount of the Loans for those Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount (the “Identified Qualifying Lenders”) shall be made pro rata among the Identified Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the Offered Amount of each such Identified Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with such Loan Party or such Subsidiary and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”). On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (I) the relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Loan Prepayment and the Classes to be prepaid, (II) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount, and the Acceptable Prepayment

103

NY\6127033.17



Amount of all Loans and the Classes to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (III) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount and the Classes of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date, and (IV) if applicable, each Identified Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration. Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The payment amount specified in such notice to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary shall be due and payable by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with subsection (F) below (subject to subsection (K) below).
(E)    In connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the Loan Parties and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require as a condition to any Discounted Loan Prepayment, the payment of customary and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses from a Loan Party or Subsidiary in connection therewith.
(F)    If any Loan is prepaid in accordance with paragraphs (B) through (D) above, a Loan Party or Subsidiary shall prepay such Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date without premium or penalty. The relevant Loan Party or Subsidiary shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Principal Office in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant Class of Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments. The Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date. Each prepayment of the outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iv) shall be paid to the Discount Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Loans of such Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share. The aggregate principal amount of the Classes and installments of the relevant Loans outstanding shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the aggregate principal amount of the Class of Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Loan Prepayment. In connection with each prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iv), each relevant Loan Party and Lender shall render customary “big boy” letters to each other and the Auction Agent regarding Excluded Information.
(G)    To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Loan Prepayment (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any open market purchases of Loans or Commitments otherwise permitted by the terms hereof) shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this

104

NY\6127033.17



Section 2.05(a)(iv) or as otherwise established by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and as reasonably agreed by the Borrower.
(H)    Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.05(a)(iv), to the extent the Administrative Agent is the Auction Agent, each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon Auction Agent’s (or its delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next Business Day.
(I)    Each of the Loan Parties and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.05(a)(iv) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate. The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.05(a)(iv) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.
(J)    In connection with any Term Loans prepaid and cancelled pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iv), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.
(K)    Each Loan Party and any of its Subsidiaries shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke or modify its offer to make a Discounted Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discount Prepayment Response Date.
(L)    Any failure by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary to make any prepayment to a Lender, pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iv) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under Section 8.01 or otherwise.
(M)    To the extent the Auction Agent is required to deliver notices or communicate such other information to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(iv), the Auction Agent will work with the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will cooperate with the Auction Agent) in order to procure the delivery of such notices and/or the communication of such information to the applicable Lenders.

Excess Cash Flow or Net Cash Proceeds which would be so affected will not be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.05(b) but may be retained by the applicable Restricted Subsidiary so long as the applicable local Law or material constituent document restriction will not permit such repatriation to the Borrower or such adverse tax consequence would occur, (2) the Borrower agrees to use and to cause the applicable Restricted Subsidiary to use all reasonable efforts to overcome or eliminate any such restrictions and/or to minimize any such adverse tax consequences to make the relevant prepayment (net of an amount equal to the additional Related Taxes that would be payable or reserved against as a result of a repatriation and any additional costs that would be incurred as a result of repatriation, whether or not a repatriation actually occurs) within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required and (3) if within one year following the date on which the respective prepayment would otherwise have been required such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds and Excess Cash Flow is permissible under the applicable local law or applicable constituent documents or if such adverse tax consequence no longer exists (even if such cash is actually not repatriated), an amount equal to the amount of Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow otherwise subject to such restrictions, that could be repatriated will be promptly (and in any event not later than five (5) Business Days after such repatriation is or such repatriation could be accomplished) applied (net of an amount equal to the additional Related Taxes that would be payable or reserved against as a result of a repatriation and any additional costs that would be incurred as a result of repatriation, whether or not a repatriation actually occurs) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b). The non-application of any prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions (the aggregate sum of any such amounts related to Excess Cash Flow, “Non-Repatriated Amounts”) will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a Default or an Event of Default, and such Non-Repatriated Amounts and such amount of Net Cash Proceeds shall be available for working capital purposes of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries as long as not required to be prepaid in accordance with the following provisions.
(ix)    Any prepayment of any Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied to repay Term Loans of each then outstanding Class on a pro rata basis unless otherwise agreed by any Term Lenders receiving less than their Pro Rata Share and the Borrower. Any prepayment of any Class of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(b) shall be applied in direct order of maturities and each such prepayment shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share (prior to giving effect to any rejection by any Lender of any such prepayment pursuant to clause (vii) below), subject to this clause (vi) and clause (vii) of this Section 2.05(b).
(x)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 2.05(b) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the prepayment. Any Term

108

NY\6127033.17



Lender (a “Declining Lender”, and any Lender which is not a Declining Lender, an “Accepting Lender”) may elect, by delivering not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date, a written notice that any mandatory prepayment of a Term Loan otherwise required to be made with respect to the Term Loans held by such Lender pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) (but not clause (iii)) of this Section 2.05(b) not be made, in which event the portion of such prepayment which would otherwise have been applied to the Term Loans of the Declining Lenders shall instead be retained by the Borrower (“Retained Declined Proceeds”).
(xi)    Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.05 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 3.04. Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of Section 2.05(b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.05(b), other than on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower (or the German Borrower, if applicable) may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the German Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the German Borrower) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.05(b). Such deposit shall be deemed to be a prepayment of such Loans by the Borrower for all purposes under this Agreement.

For avoidance of doubt, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments in full, the L/C Sublimit and the Swingline Sublimit shall automatically terminate. Unless previously terminated, (x) the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the date specified in clause (a) of the definition of “Maturity Date” and (y) the Delayed Draw Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Delayed Draw Commitment Termination Date.

The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Appropriate Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the L/C Sublimit, the Swingline Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.06. Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced; provided, however, that any termination in whole of the Revolving Commitment and/or Delayed Draw Commitment of a Defaulting Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.06(a) shall not result in a reduction of any other Lender’s Revolving Commitments or Delayed Draw Commitments. Subject to Section 2.18(a)(iii), all commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments of any Class shall be paid to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Appropriate Lenders) on the effective date of such termination.

NY\6127033.17



waiver, consent or amendment (in the case of clause (i) and clause (ii), in connection with (x) any waiver, consent or amendment to the Term Loans the primary result of which is the lowering of the Weighted Average Yield of the Term Loans or (y) the incurrence of any term loan debt financing the primary result of which is the lowering of the Weighted Average Yield of the Term Loans (or portion thereof) so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced (a “Repricing Transaction”)) occurring on or prior to the date that is six months following the Closing Date, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing (in any such case, in connection with a Repricing Transaction) will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced.

All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a three hundred and sixty-five (365) day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.14(a), bear interest for one (1) day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Borrower and the German Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence, absent manifest error of the amount of the Borrowings made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the German Borrower and the interest and payments thereon; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or the Borrower’s or the German Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

116

NY\6127033.17



(b)    Register. Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain the Register at its Principal Office. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans and (ii) the identity of the other Lender’s (but not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Loans)) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Revolving Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(c), and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be prima facie evidence thereof, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Revolving Commitments or the Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan.
(c)    Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower (and the German Borrower, in the case of any Note evidencing a Multicurrency Revolving Commitment but solely with respect to the Obligations of the German Borrower) shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.07) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s U.S. Term Loan, Euro Term Loan, Delayed Draw Commitment and/or Delayed Draw Term Loan, U.S. Revolving Commitment, Multicurrency Revolving Commitment or Swingline Loan, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.12    Payments Generally.
(a)    All payments by the Borrower or the German Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made (i) with respect to the U.S. Term Loans, Delayed Draw Term Loans, U.S. Revolving Commitments, U.S. Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, in Dollars, (ii) with respect to the Euro Term Loans, in Euros, and (iii) with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments and Multicurrency Letters of Credit, in the applicable Approved Currency in which such Obligations are denominated, in each case, in same day funds, without defense (other than payment in full), recoupment, setoff, condition or deduction for any counterclaim, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date due at the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower or the German Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day, in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Committed Loan Notice with respect to a conversion or continuation is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.
(c)    Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the

117

NY\6127033.17



next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.
(d)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.
(e)    Subject to Section 3.01(h), nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
(f)    If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the maturity of the Obligations shall have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.02 or pursuant to any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, all payments or proceeds received by Agents in respect of any of the Obligations, shall be applied in accordance with the application arrangements described in Section 8.03.
SECTION 2.13    Pro Rata Shares; Sharing of Payments; Availability of Funds.
(a)    Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders required to make such Loans or purchase such participations, simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares thereof, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.
(b)    Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower (or the German Borrower, if applicable) a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter, if such Loan is in Dollars, at the Base Rate, and if such Loan is in Euros or any other Alternative Currency, at the rate certified by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select). If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the

118

NY\6127033.17



Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent at the Base Rate if such Loan is in Dollars, and at the rate certified by the Administrative Agent to be its cost of funds (from any source which it may reasonably select) if such Loan is in Euros or any other Alternative Currency. Nothing in this Section 2.13(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Term Commitments and Revolving Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(c)    Affiliates. Each Multicurrency Revolving Lender may, at its option, make any Multicurrency Revolving Loan available to the German Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the German Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d)    If, other than as provided elsewhere herein (including, without limitation, any prepayments made in connection with Section 2.05(a)(iv), Section 2.15, Section 2.16 or Section 10.07), any Lender shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set‑off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, that if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or the German Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
SECTION 2.14    Increase in Commitments. (%3) After the Closing Date, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may request increases to the U.S. Revolving Commitments (each such increase, the “Additional U.S. Revolving Commitments”), increases to the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments (each such increase, the “Additional Multicurrency Revolving Commitments” and, together with the Additional U.S. Revolving Commitments, the “Additional Revolving Commitments”), increases to any existing Term

119

NY\6127033.17



Loan Facility or one or more new tranches of term loans, including Additional Term A Loans, denominated in either Dollars or Euros (each such increase and/or new tranche, the “Additional Term Commitments”); provided that:
(i)    after giving effect to any such addition, the aggregate amount of Additional Revolving Commitments, Additional Term Commitments and Additional Notes that have been added pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall not exceed (A) $500,000,000, plus (B) the amount of Delayed Draw Commitments that have been cancelled without the funding of Delayed Draw Term Loans thereunder plus (C) the amount of all voluntary prepayments and voluntary commitment reductions of the Facilities prior to the date of any such incurrence (the amounts available pursuant to clauses (A) through (C), the “General Incremental Availability”), plus (D) unlimited additional amounts (the “Ratio Incremental Availability”) to the extent that, in the case of this clause (D) only, as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period for which financial statements are internally available after giving Pro Forma Effect to such Incurrence of Loans pursuant to such Additional Term Commitments, Additional Revolving Commitments and/or Additional Notes, as applicable, and any Investment consummated with the proceeds therefrom, (x) if the Additional Revolving Loans, Additional Term Loans and/or Additional Notes are secured on a pari passu basis with the Facilities, the First Lien Leverage Ratio does not exceed 1.50:1.00 or (y) if such Additional Revolving Commitments, Additional Term Commitments and/or Additional Notes are unsecured or secured on a junior lien basis to the Facilities, the Total Leverage Ratio does not exceed 3.50:1.00 (but assuming for the purpose of each such calculation that (x) the relevant Additional Revolving Commitments shall be treated as fully drawn, (y) the cash proceeds of Additional Revolving Loans, Additional Term Loans and/or Additional Notes, as applicable, are not treated as Cash On Hand for such purpose and (z) the proceeds of any Additional Loans or Additional Notes that are to be used to repay Indebtedness have been so used to prepay such Indebtedness) and, in each case, after giving effect to any determination that the Borrower may make to designate any such Additional Revolving Commitments, Additional Term Commitments and/or Additional Notes as being Incurred pursuant to the General Incremental Availability or Ratio Incremental Availability in its sole discretion;
(ii)    no existing Lender will be required to participate in any such Additional Facility or Additional Notes without its consent;
(iii)    any such Additional Facility shall, except as otherwise provided in clause (vi)(C) below, be secured on a pari passu basis by the same Collateral securing the Facilities;
(iv)    (x) all Additional U.S. Revolving Commitments shall be on the same terms and conditions and subject to the same documentation as the U.S. Revolving Facility (other than with respect to any upfront fees) and (y) all Additional Multicurrency Revolving Commitments shall be on the same terms and conditions and subject to the same documentation as the Multicurrency Revolving Facility (other than with respect to any upfront fees); and

120

NY\6127033.17



(v)    the final maturity date of any Additional Term Loans (other than Additional Term A Loans) shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date for the existing Term Loans, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Additional Term Loans (other than Additional Term A Loans) shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity for the existing Term Loans, and the terms of any Additional Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders of such Additional Term Loans;
(vi)    the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors, fees and amortization schedule applicable to any Additional Term Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Additional Term Loans; provided that:
(A)    (x) with respect to any Dollar-denominated Additional Term Loans (excluding any Incremental Equivalent Term Indebtedness and any Additional Term A Loans), if the initial “yield” of such Additional Term Loans exceeds the initial “yield” with respect to the existing U.S. Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, the applicable margins for the U.S. Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the initial “yield” on the existing U.S. Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans is 50 basis points less than the initial “yield” on such Additional Term Loans and (y) with respect to any Euro-denominated Additional Term Loans (excluding any Incremental Equivalent Term Indebtedness and any Additional Term A Loans), if the initial “yield” of such Additional Term Loans exceeds the initial “yield” with respect to the existing Euro Term Loans by more than 50 basis points, the applicable margins for the Euro Term Loans shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the initial “yield” on the existing Euro Term Loans is 50 basis points less than the initial “yield” on such Additional Term Loans; provided further that, in determining the interest rate margins applicable to the Additional Term Loan and the existing Term Loans, (x) arrangement, commitment, structuring or other fees payable to the Arrangers (or their respective Affiliates) in connection with the existing Term Loans or to one or more arrangers (or their Affiliates) of any Additional Term Loan that are not shared generally with all Lenders providing such Additional Term Loan shall be excluded, (y) original issue discount and upfront fees paid to the Lenders thereunder shall be included (with original issue discount being equated to interest based on assumed four-year life to maturity or, if shorter, the actual Weighted Average Life to Maturity), and (z) if the Additional Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the applicable interest rate floor with respect to the applicable existing Term Loans, such differential between interest rate floors shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the interest rate margin with respect to the applicable existing Term Loans shall be required, but only to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor in the applicable existing Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the interest rate margin) applicable to such existing Term Loans shall be increased to the extent of such differential between interest rate floors;

121

NY\6127033.17



(B)    the amortization requirements of such Additional Term Loans may differ from the existing Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans, so long as the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Additional Term Loans shall be no shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the existing Initial Term Loans and Delayed Draw Term Loans; provided that Additional Term Loans may be incurred as Additional Term A Loans (and may have a shorter Weighted Average Life to Maturity than the existing Initial Term Loans and the Delayed Draw Term Loans) so long as (x) the aggregate principal amount of Additional Term A Loans that are outstanding at the time of such incurrence, when taken together with the aggregate principal amount of all other Earlier Maturity Indebtedness then outstanding, does not exceed $300,000,000 and (y) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Additional Term A Loans is not less than three years;
(C)    any Additional Term Loans, to the extent secured, shall not be secured by any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Guarantor that does not also secure the then outstanding Term Loans, or be guaranteed by any Person other than the Guarantors under the then outstanding Term Loans; and
(D)    the Additional Term Loans may rank junior in right of security to the existing Term Loan Facility or may be unsecured, in which case such Additional Term Commitments and corresponding Term Loans will be established as a separate facility than the existing Term Loan Facility hereunder (such Indebtedness, “Incremental Equivalent Term Indebtedness”), and shall be established in each case under a separate credit agreement or credit agreements, and the lender representative validly acting on behalf of the holders of such Indebtedness shall have become party to a customary intercreditor agreement with terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, and the provisions of Section 2.14(a)(vi)(A) shall not apply;
(E)    any Additional Term Loans otherwise permitted to be incurred under this Section 2.14 may be incurred as Additional Notes and the provisions of Section 2.14(a)(vi)(A) shall not apply; and
(F)    to the extent the terms and documentation with respect to any Additional Term Loans (other than Additional Term A Loans) are not consistent with the existing Term Loan Facilities (except to the extent permitted under clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 2.14(a)(vi)) in a manner that is more favorable to the lenders of such Additional Term Loans, the terms and documentation shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to the periods after the latest Maturity Date of any existing Facility or any existing Additional Facility at the time such Additional Term Loans are incurred); it being understood that, to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Additional Term Loans, no consent shall be required from the Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the benefit of any existing Term Facility).

122

NY\6127033.17



(b)    If any Additional Term Commitments or Additional Revolving Commitments are added in accordance with this Section 2.14, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (each, an “Additional Commitments Effective Date”) and the final amount of such addition. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Additional Term Commitments or Additional Revolving Commitments (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee and, to the extent that consent of the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender would be required for an assignment of Loans pursuant to Section 10.07 to any such Lender, consented to by the Administrative Agent, each L/C Issuer or the Swingline Lender, as applicable) of the final amount of such addition and the Additional Commitments Effective Date. The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Additional Commitments Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (i) the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Additional Commitments Effective Date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they shall have been true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date (provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof), and (ii) no Event of Default exists or would exist after giving effect to such addition, subject in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) where agreed to by the Lenders providing such Additional Term Loans or Additional Revolving Commitments to customary “Sunguard” limitations to the extent the proceeds of any Additional Loans are being used to finance a Permitted Acquisition or any other permitted Investment.
(c)    The effectiveness of any Additional Loans or Additional Revolving Commitments (and any amendment entered into in connection therewith) shall be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) on the Additional Commitments Effective Date of each of the conditions as the parties thereto shall agree, including (a) to the extent requested by the Lenders providing such Additional Loans or Additional Revolving Commitments, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) customary officer’s certificates and board resolutions and (ii) customary opinions of counsel to the Loan Parties or the German Borrower, if applicable, in each case, to the extent so requested by such Lenders and, to the extent applicable, consistent with those delivered on the Closing Date or thereafter in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than changes to legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) or with respect to opinions provided with respect to Foreign Subsidiaries (if any), customary for such jurisdiction and (b) supplemental, additional or reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Collateral Documents and/or the Guarantee Agreement as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (including Mortgage amendments) in order to ensure that any Additional Loans or Additional Revolving Commitments (as applicable) are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. Any Additional Loans or Additional Revolving Commitments made pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be effected pursuant to one or more Joinder Agreements executed and delivered by the Borrower, each Additional Lender and the Administrative Agent and shall be evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.11. Any Additional Term Loans or Additional Revolving Commitments made on an Additional Commitments Effective

123

NY\6127033.17



Date shall be designated a separate Series (or a part of an existing Series, as applicable) for all purposes of this Agreement.
(d)    On any Additional Commitments Effective Date on which Additional Revolving Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Lenders with Revolving Commitments of the same Class shall assign to each of the Additional Revolving Lenders, and each of the Additional Revolving Lenders shall purchase from each of such Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the applicable Revolving Loans outstanding on such Additional Commitments Effective Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Lenders with Revolving Commitments of the same Class and Additional Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such Additional Revolving Commitments to the Revolving Commitments of the applicable Class, (b) each Additional U.S. Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a U.S. Revolving Commitment and each Additional U.S. Revolving Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a U.S. Revolving Loan, (c) each Additional Multicurrency Revolving Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Multicurrency Revolving Commitment and each Additional Multicurrency Revolving Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Multicurrency Revolving Loan, and (d) each Additional Revolving Lender shall become a U.S. Revolving Lender or a Multicurrency Revolving Lender, as applicable, with respect to its Additional Revolving Commitment and all matters relating thereto.
(e)    This Section 2.14 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.05, Section 2.13 and Section 10.01 to the contrary. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby (i) agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the Incurrence of Indebtedness expressly provided for in this Section 2.14 and (ii) waive the requirements of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit the Incurrence of any Indebtedness expressly provided for by this Section 2.14. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document (except as expressly enumerated in this Section 2.14), each Joinder Agreement may, without the consent of any other Lender, amend the terms of the Loan Documents, if necessary or reasonably advisable, to provide for terms applicable to each Additional Revolving Commitment and Additional Term Commitment.
SECTION 2.15    Refinancing Amendments. At any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any or any Affiliates thereof or any other lender that is an Eligible Assignee (other than in the case of Refinancing Notes), Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness in respect of all or any portion of the Loans, Commitments, Additional Loans, Additional Term Commitments or Additional Revolving Commitments then outstanding under this Agreement in the form of Refinancing Term Facilities, Refinancing Revolving Facilities or Refinancing Notes, in each case, other than Refinancing Notes, pursuant to a Refinancing Amendment. Any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility shall be denominated in the same currency as the portion of the Loans, Commitments, Additional Loans, Additional Term Commitments or Additional Revolving Commitments so refinanced or Dollars or Euros. Any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Facility may

124

NY\6127033.17



participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) with the Term Loan Facilities or Revolving Facilities, as applicable, in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments (and with respect to the Revolving Facilities, extensions of credit and termination of Commitments) hereunder, as specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment. The effectiveness of any Refinancing Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of customary legal opinions, board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements generally consistent with those delivered under Section 4.01 (which in the case of legal opinions, take into account changes to such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). Each Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred under this Section 2.15 shall (i) be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $25,000,000 and (ii) with respect to any Refinancing Term Facilities or Refinancing Notes in the case of any Term Loans being refinanced, will have a maturity date that is not prior to the maturity date of, and will have a Weighted Average Life to Maturity that is not shorter than, the Term Loans being refinanced; provided that the requirements of this clause (ii) shall not apply to Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness that constitutes Earlier Maturity Indebtedness to the extent that, after giving effect to such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness, the aggregate principal amount of all such Earlier Maturity Indebtedness (including any Additional Term A Loans) then outstanding does not exceed $300,000,000. In addition, subject to Section 2.03(j) and Section 2.04(f), to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, (x) all Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Dollar-denominated Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the U.S. Revolving Commitments, Dollar-denominated Additional Revolving Commitments and Dollar-denominated Extended Revolving Commitments (and, except as provided in Section 2.03(j) or Section 2.04(f), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and (y) all Multicurrency Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments denominated in an Alternative Currency in accordance with their percentage of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, Additional Revolving Commitments denominated in an Alternative Currency and Extended Revolving Commitments denominated in an Alternative Currency (and, except as provided in Section 2.03(j) or Section 2.04(f), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Multicurrency Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Refinancing Amendment. Any Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.15 and reflect the existence and terms of the Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness incurred pursuant thereto (including any amendments necessary to treat the Loans and Commitments subject thereto as Other Loans and/or Other Commitments). If, in connection with any proposed Refinancing Amendment, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reasonably determine that such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness shall be effected by an amendment of all or a portion of

125

NY\6127033.17



the existing Term Loans (in lieu of an equivalent repayment thereof), then upon the payment in cash to each such Lender of the amounts that otherwise would have been payable to such Lender in connection with such Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness (including any applicable premium with respect thereto), such Lender shall be deemed to have agreed to a concurrent assignment of an equivalent portion of such Lender’s applicable Term Loans to the Administrative Agent or such other Lender as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may agree (without further action by such Lender) pursuant to Section 10.07 (with the assignment fee and any other costs and expenses to be paid by the Borrower in such instance and without any representation or warranty by such Lender). This Section 2.15 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.05, Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary. The Lenders hereby waive the requirements of any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit the Incurrence of any Indebtedness expressly provided for in this Section 2.15.
SECTION 2.16    Extensions of Loans and Commitments. (%3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to (i) all Lenders of Term Loans or Revolving Loans of the same Class with a like Maturity Date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Term Loans or Revolving Loans of such Class with a like Maturity Date) or (ii) all Revolving Lenders with a Revolving Commitment of the same Class with a like termination date on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate Revolving Commitments of such Class with a like termination date) and, in each case, on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the Maturity Date of each such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans or such Revolving Commitments pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including, without limitation, by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans or such Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Term Loans) (each, an “Extension”), and each group of Loans or Revolving Commitments as so extended, as well as the original Loans (not so extended) or Revolving Commitments (not so extended), being a Series; any Extended Term Loans, Extended Revolving Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments (each as defined below) shall constitute a separate Series of Loans or Revolving Commitments from the Series of Loans or Revolving Commitments from which they were converted, so long as the following terms are satisfied or waived: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders and no Event of Default shall exist immediately after the effectiveness of any Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments, as applicable, (ii) except as to interest rates, yield, AHYDO payments, fees, amortization, final maturity date, premium, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi), be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable (each, an “Extended Term Lender” or an “Extended Revolving Lender” and, together, the “Extending Lenders”) extended pursuant to any Extension (any such Term Loan whose Maturity Date is so extended, an “Extended Term Loan”, any such Revolving Loan

126

NY\6127033.17



whose Maturity Date is so extended, an “Extended Revolving Loan”, and any such Revolving Commitment whose termination date is so extended, an “Extended Revolving Commitment”) shall have substantially same terms or terms that are more favorable to the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries (taken as a whole and as reasonably determined in good faith by the Borrower) than those applicable to the Class of Loans or the Class of Revolving Commitments, as applicable, subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable only to periods after the then latest Maturity Date for the Facilities), (iii) the amortization schedule applicable to any Extended Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.07 for the periods prior to the original Maturity Date for the applicable Term Facility may not be increased, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Term Loans extended thereby, (v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the applicable Extension Offer (except for (A) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Revolving Commitments (and related outstandings) and (B) repayments required upon the Maturity Date of the non-extending Revolving Commitments), (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans or the Revolving Commitments, as applicable, of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing and (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower. In addition, subject to Section 2.03(j) and Section 2.04(f), to the extent dealing with Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit which mature or expire after a maturity date when there exist Extended Revolving Commitments with a longer maturity date, (x) all Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Dollar-denominated Revolving Commitments in accordance with their percentage of the U.S. Revolving Commitments, Dollar-denominated Additional Revolving Commitments and Dollar-denominated Extended Revolving Commitments (and, except as provided in Section 2.03(j) or Section 2.04(f), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Swingline Loans and U.S. Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued) and (y) all Multicurrency Letters of Credit shall be participated on a pro rata basis by all Lenders with Revolving Commitments denominated in an Alternative Currency in accordance with their percentage of the Multicurrency Revolving Commitments, Additional Revolving Commitments denominated in an Alternative Currency and Extended Revolving Commitments denominated in an Alternative Currency (and, except as provided in Section 2.03(j) or Section 2.04(f), without giving effect to changes thereto on an earlier maturity date with respect to Multicurrency Letters of Credit theretofore incurred or issued).
(a)    With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.16, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for

127

NY\6127033.17



purposes of Section 2.05 and (ii) each Extension Offer is required to be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000, provided that the Borrower may at its election specify as a condition (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) to consummating any such Extension that a minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer in the Borrower’s sole discretion and may be waived by the Borrower) of Loans or Revolving Commitments of any or all applicable tranches be tendered. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby consent to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.16 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) and hereby waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.05, 2.13 and 10.01) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section 2.16.
(b)    No consent of any Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to its Revolving Commitments (or a portion thereof) or one or more of its Loans (or a portion thereof). All Extended Loans, Extended Revolving Commitments and all Obligations in respect of the foregoing shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and, unless (x) the Loans or Revolving Commitments being extended by this Section 2.16 are unsecured or (y) otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Lender providing such Extension, such Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments shall be secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable secured Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, where applicable, subject to a customary intercreditor agreement with terms to be mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the lenders with respect to such Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments; provided, however, no Extension may provide for any Class of Extended Loans or Extended Revolving Commitments to be secured by any Collateral or other assets of any Loan Party that does not also secure the existing Loans and Commitments. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary or reasonably advisable in order to establish new Series in respect of the Loans or the Revolving Commitments so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Series, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.16. All such Extension Amendments entered into with Borrower by Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders.
(c)    In connection with any Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class) of the requested new maturity date for the extended Loans of each such Class and the due date for Lender responses. In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension. Any Extension shall be effected pursuant to such procedure, if any, as may be mutually agreed by Administrative Agent and Borrower to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.16.

128

NY\6127033.17



(d)    No conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory prepayment for purposes of this Agreement. This Section 2.16 shall supersede any provisions in Section 2.05, Section 2.13 or Section 10.01 to the contrary.
SECTION 2.17    Cash Collateral.
(a)    Obligation to Cash Collateralize. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the applicable L/C Issuer (i) if the applicable L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing or (ii) if, as of the L/C Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, or as otherwise required pursuant to Section 8.01, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately within one Business Day of written request of the Administrative Agent or any applicable L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender (in each case, with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize all Fronting Exposure of such L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as applicable, with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(b)    Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in Cash Collateral Accounts which shall bear interest for the benefit of the Borrower. The Borrower and, to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender, hereby grants to (and subject to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the applicable L/C Issuers and the applicable Lenders (including the Swingline Lender), and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and all proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim (other than non-consensual Permitted Liens which do not have priority over the claim of the Administrative Agent) of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount or, if applicable, the applicable Fronting Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly following written demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.
(c)    Application. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Cash Collateral provided under this Section, Section 2.18 or Section 8.01 or otherwise in respect of Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans shall be applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations, Swingline Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligations) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

129

NY\6127033.17



(d)    Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Fronting Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section 10.07)), or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that (A) Cash Collateral furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower shall not be released during the continuance of a Default under Section 8.01(a) or an Event of Default (and following application as provided in this Section may be otherwise applied in accordance with Section 8.03) and (B) the Person providing Cash Collateral and the applicable L/C Issuer(s) or Swingline Lender may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations hereunder.
SECTION 2.18    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01 unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(ii)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 7 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.09 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the applicable L/C Issuer(s) or Swingline Lender(s) hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.17; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the L/C Issuers’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.17; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the applicable L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the applicable L/C Issuers or the Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under

130

NY\6127033.17



this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and, eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C Borrowings in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (or, if such Loans or were made in the initial Credit Extension, Sections 4.01 and 4.02) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and the L/C Borrowings owed to, all the Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii)    Commitment and L/C Fees. (x) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any commitment fees payable under Section 2.09(a) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender) and (y) each Defaulting Lender shall be limited in its right to receive L/C Fees as provided in Section 2.09(b).
(iv)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in L/C Obligations and Swingline Loans shall be automatically reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the sum of the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Revolving Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender, plus such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations at such time, plus such Lender’s Revolving Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swingline Loans at such time to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from such Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and each L/C Issuer agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative

131

NY\6127033.17



Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable Facility (without giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    New Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no L/C Issuer shall be required to issue, extend or amend any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
SECTION 2.19    Appointment of Borrower as Representative of German Borrower The German Borrower hereby appoints the Borrower as its agent, attorney-in-fact and representative for the purpose of (i) making any borrowing requests or other requests required under this Agreement, (ii) the giving and receipt of notices by and to the German Borrower under this Agreement, (iii) the delivery of all documents, reports, financial statements and written materials required to be delivered by the German Borrower under this Agreement, and (iv) all other purposes incidental to any of the foregoing. The German Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower as the agent, attorney-in-fact and representative of the German Borrower shall be binding upon the German Borrower to the same extent as if directly taken by the German Borrower.
Article 3.    

TAXES, INCREASED COSTS PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
SECTION 3.01    Taxes. (%3) Payments to Be Free and Clear. Subject to Section 3.01(b), all sums payable by any Loan Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.
(a)    Withholding of Taxes. If any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (i) the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, as applicable, of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as reasonably possible after the Borrower or the Administrative Agent becomes aware of it; (ii) the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or other relevant Loan Party) shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Loan Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on the

132

NY\6127033.17



Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Lender; (iii) the sum payable by such Loan Party in respect of which the relevant deduction or withholding is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction or withholding, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, receives on the relevant due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been required or made; and (iv) within thirty days after paying any sum from which any deduction or withholding has been made, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of such deduction or withholding and of the remittance thereof to the relevant tax or other authority; provided, no such additional amount shall be required to be paid under clause (iii) above with respect to any Excluded Taxes.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and Lenders for and pay any Other Taxes.
(c)    Evidence of Exemption From U.S. Withholding Tax. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-US Lender”) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and Borrower, on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (i) two executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (claiming the benefits of any applicable income tax treaty), W-8EXP, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit R to the effect that such Lender is not (x) a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, (y) not a 10 percent shareholder within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (z) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower with the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, together with two executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (and/or W-8IMY, if applicable) (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. If any Lender provides an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, such Lender must also attach the additional documentation that must be transmitted with Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, including the appropriate forms described in this Section 3.01(d). Each Non-US Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Non-US Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Non-US Lender), shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date when such Non-US Lender ceases to act for its own account with

133

NY\6127033.17



respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), two duly signed, properly completed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any form, certificate, and/or statement required to be attached thereto under the Code or the regulations thererunder, to establish that such Non-US Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Non-US Lender and to establish what the applicable U.S. withholding tax is with respect to payments made with respect to such portion. Each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and whose name does not indicate that it is an “exempt recipient” (as such term is defined in Section 1.6049-4(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations) shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower and Administrative Agent (each in the reasonable exercise of its discretion) two executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor forms). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Non-US Lender shall not be required to deliver any form or statement pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) that such Non-US Lender is not legally able to deliver. Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrower two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8EXP, W-8ECI, W-8IMY or W-9, or a Certificate re Non-Bank Status and two original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8IMY (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code or reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to (or is subject to a reduced rate of) deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. The Administrative Agent shall provide documentation to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) as if it were a Lender.
(d)    Evidence of Exemption from Non-U.S. Withholding Tax. A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is subject to tax, or any tax treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver, within a reasonable period of time, to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), as reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law (including, if relevant, a certificate of residence) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is able to complete, execute and deliver such documentation legally and without undue prejudice.

134

NY\6127033.17



(e)    Borrower Indemnification for Failure to Pay Required Taxes, etc. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment the Administrative Agent or the Lenders and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that if the Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to obtain a refund of such Taxes, so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender (as the case may be), result in any additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it. Payment under this indemnification must be made within fifteen days from the date any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates makes written demand therefore accompanied by appropriate evidence of the Tax and its payment.
(f)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which the Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required to pay any amount to any Loan Party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Loan Party or any other Person.
(g)    FATCA. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and

135

NY\6127033.17



withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.01(h), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date that are not already included in the definition of “FATCA”.
(h)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 3.01, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.01 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of any Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(j)     Definitions. For the purposes of this Section 3.01, the references to “Borrower” and “Loan Party” shall include the German Borrower and the references to “Lender” shall include any L/C Issuers.
SECTION 3.02    Making or Maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans.
(b)     Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate”, Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Committed Loan Notice given by Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.
(c)    Illegality or Impracticability of Eurocurrency Rate Loans In the event that on any date (i) any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after

136

NY\6127033.17



the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of the Lenders in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or in the case of the preceding clause (i), such Lender) shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (in writing by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) Lenders constituting the Required Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Committed Loan Notice, the Lenders (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans (in the case of Affected Loans that are denominated in an Alternative Currency, with an Applicable Rate equal to the Base Rate plus a margin that is 1.00% less than the margin that would otherwise be applicable to Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Class) on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Committed Loan Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.04, to rescind such Committed Loan Notice as to all Lenders by promptly giving notice (in writing by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 3.02(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurocurrency Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d)    Booking of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Subject to Sections 3.01 and 3.05, any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurocurrency Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.
(e)    Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 3.02 and under Sections 3.03 and 3.04 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurocurrency Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurocurrency deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Adjusted Eurocurrency Rate” in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurocurrency deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a

137

NY\6127033.17



domestic office of such Lender in the United States; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.02 and under Sections 3.03 and 3.04.

(c)    Any Agent or any Lender claiming compensation under this Article 3 shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

With respect to its participation in the Loans and the Letters of Credit, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity.

SECTION 9.06    Right to Indemnity
. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, to the extent that such Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Loan Party or the German Borrower, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses

195

NY\6127033.17



or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to any Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, such Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

Any successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall, upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder.
(b)    In addition to the foregoing, Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower, and the Collateral Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Borrower and the Collateral Agent signed by the Required Lenders.

(a)    Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the

198

NY\6127033.17



Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Collateral Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from the Required Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
(b)    Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Loan Document, when all Obligations (other than (i) contingent indemnity obligations that are not due and payable and (ii) obligations and liabilities in respect of any Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines) have been paid in full, all Commitments have terminated or expired and no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding (except to the extent Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made), all obligations under the Loan Documents and all security interests created by the Loan Documents and the guarantees made herein shall automatically terminate and, upon request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (without notice to, or vote or consent of, any Secured Bank Product Provider or Designated Credit Line Provider) take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Loan Document, whether or not on the date of such release there may be outstanding Obligations in respect of Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(c)    The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared

199

NY\6127033.17



by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
SECTION 9.09    Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any Applicable Laws, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If any payment has been made to any Lender by the Administrative Agent without the applicable withholding Tax being withheld from such payment and the Administrative Agent has paid over the applicable withholding Tax to the IRS or any other Governmental Authority, or the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 9.09. The agreements in this Section 9.09 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
SECTION 9.10    Administrative Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws relative to any Loan Party or the German Borrower, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or Obligation under a Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    to file a verified statement pursuant to rule 2019 of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure that, in its sole opinion, complies with such rule’s disclosure requirements for entities representing more than one creditor;
(b)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.03, 2.04, 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

200

NY\6127033.17



(c)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and L/C Issuer to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and L/C Issuers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09, 10.04 and 10.05. out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders or L/C Issuers may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
SECTION 9.11    Secured Bank Product Provider
(a)    s and Designated Credit Line Providers. Each Secured Bank Product Provider, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral, and each Designated Credit Line Provider, by its delivery to the Administrative Agent of notice of its provision of a Designated Credit Line and its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral, as applicable, agrees to be bound by Section 6.02 of the Security Agreement and this Article 9. Each Secured Bank Product Provider and each Designated Credit Line Provider shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent and each of its directors, officers, employees, or agents, to the extent not reimbursed by the Loan Parties or the German Borrower, against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent or its directors, officers, employees, or agents in connection with such provider’s Secured Bank Product Obligations or Designated Credit Lines, as applicable; provided, however, that no Secured Bank Product Provider or Designated Credit Line Provider shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. No Swap Contract, other Bank Product agreement or Designated Credit Line will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Bank Product Provider or Designated Credit Line Provider, as applicable, that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each such Secured Bank Product Provider and Designated Credit Line

201

NY\6127033.17



Provider shall be deemed to have appointed the Collateral Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.11.
Article 10.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01 but without limitation of Section 2.15, in the event that the Borrower request that this Agreement be modified or amended in a manner that would require the unanimous consent of all of the Lenders or of all the Lenders directly and adversely affected thereby and such modification or amendment is agreed to by the Required Lenders, then with the consent of the Borrower, the German Borrower and the Required Lenders, the Borrower, the German Borrower and the Required Lenders shall be permitted to amend the Agreement without the consent of the Non-Consenting Lenders to provide for (a) the termination of the Commitment of each Non-Consenting Lender that are (x) Revolving Lenders, (y) Term Lenders or (z) both, at the election of the Borrower, the German Borrower and the Required Lenders, (b) the addition to this Agreement of one or more other financial institutions (each of which shall be an Eligible Assignee), or an increase in the Commitment of one or more of the Required Lenders (with the written consent thereof), so that the total Commitment after giving effect to such

204

NY\6127033.17



amendment shall be in the same amount as the total Commitment immediately before giving effect to such amendment, (c) if any Loans are outstanding at the time of such amendment, the making of such additional Loans by such new financial institutions or Required Lender or Lenders, as the case may be, as may be necessary to repay in full with accrued interest, at par, the outstanding Loans of the Non-Consenting Lenders immediately before giving effect to such amendment and (d) such other modifications to this Agreement as may be appropriate to effect the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c).
In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing of all or a portion of the outstanding Term Loans of any Class (“Refinanced Term Loans”) with one or more tranches of replacement term loans (“Replacement Term Loans”) hereunder; provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Refinanced Term Loans (plus accrued interest, fees, expenses and premium), (b) the Applicable Rate for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Rate for such Refinanced Term Loans unless the maturity of the Replacement Term Loans is at least one year later than the maturity of the Refinanced Term Loans, (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Refinanced Term Loans, at the time of such refinancing (except by virtue of amortization or prepayment of the Refinanced Term Loans prior to the time of such incurrence) and (d) all other terms applicable to such Replacement Term Loans shall be substantially identical to, or less favorable (taken as a whole) to the Lenders providing such Replacement Term Loans than, those applicable to such Refinanced Term Loans, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the latest Maturity Date of the Term Loans in effect immediately prior to such refinancing.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01, guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower, without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel or (ii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.01, if at any time after the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical or immaterial nature, in each case, in any provision of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision and such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Required Lenders within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

Further, the Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Loan Party or the German Borrower in any case shall entitle any Loan Party or the German Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.01 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Loan Party, on such Loan Party, and, if signed by the German Borrower, the German Borrower.

210

NY\6127033.17



alleged presence or release of Contaminants on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or (d) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any inquiry or investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is instituted by a third party or by Borrower, Holdings, Holdings’ equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Loan Party) (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, losses, damages, claims, fees or expenses (x) have been determined in the final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its controlled Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or controlling persons or members, (y) arise from a material breach of any Loan Document (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment) by any such Indemnitee or its controlled Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors or controlling persons or members or (z) arise from any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation) that does not involve an act or omission by Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnitee against any other Indemnitee (other than in connection with the a Person acting in its capacity as an Arranger, Swingline Lender, L/C Issuer, Administrative Agent or any other Agent or co-agent (if any) designated by the Arrangers, in each case in their respective capacities as such, or an Agent solely in connection with its syndication activities as contemplated hereunder). By accepting the benefits of this Section 10.05, each Indemnitee agrees to refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower to such Indemnitee to the extent there is a final judicial or arbitral determination that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification or contribution rights with respect to such payment pursuant to clauses (x), (y) or (z) of the foregoing sentence. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks) in connection with this Agreement except to the extent such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or material breach of such party or any of its affiliates or related parties, as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the Transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. The Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement in connection with any Indemnified Liabilities effected without the Borrower’s written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with the Borrower’s written consent or if there is a final judgment against such Indemnitee, the Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with the other provisions of this Section 10.05.  The Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnitee (which consent shall not

211

NY\6127033.17



be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnitee unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (b) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnitee.
(b)    All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor (including documentation reasonably supporting such demand). The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
(c)    To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of Holdings, the Borrower or the German Borrower, on the one hand, nor the Indemnitees, on the other, shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, the Borrower, the German Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that such waiver does not otherwise affect the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of the Borrower in Section 10.04 and this Section 10.05.
(d)    In case any proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnitee for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnitee, then such Indemnitee will promptly notify the Borrower of the commencement of any proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to do so will not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnitee hereunder, except to the extent that the Borrower is materially prejudiced by such failure.  Notwithstanding the above, following such notification, the Borrower may elect in writing to assume the defense of such proceeding, and, upon such election, the Borrower will not be liable for any legal costs subsequently incurred by such Indemnitee (other than reasonable costs of investigation and providing evidence) in connection therewith, unless (i) the Borrower has failed to provide counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in a timely manner, (ii) counsel provided by the Borrower reasonably determines its representation of such Indemnitee would present it with a conflict of interest or (iii) the Indemnitee reasonably determines that there are actual conflicts of interest between the Borrower and the Indemnitee, including situations in which there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnitee which are different from or in addition to those available to the Borrower.
SECTION 10.06    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the German Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender enforces any security interest or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or

the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.07    Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor the German Borrower may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(d), (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 10.07(f) or Section 10.07(h), as the case may be, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.07(g) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 10.07(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(d)    Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participation in L/C Obligations and in Swingline Loans) at the time owing to it) upon the giving of notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent shall not be less than $2,500,000 in the case of any assignment in respect of the Revolving Facility, or $500,000 (or lesser amounts if agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent), in the case of any assignment in respect of any Term Loans, provided, that contemporaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds related to the same Lender

213

NY\6127033.17



(or Affiliates thereof) shall be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met; (ii) except in the case of assignments (x) of Term Loans to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, (y) made to Goldman Sachs or (z) made by Goldman Sachs to the extent that such assignments are made in the primary syndication to Eligible Assignees to whom the Borrower has consented prior to the Closing Date, each of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, so long as no Event of Default in respect of Section 8.01(a), (e) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower consents to such assignment (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after a Responsible Officer having received notice thereof); (iii) unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower, so long as the list thereof is available to all Lenders, no such assignment shall be to a Disqualified Institution, (iv) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned, except that this clause (iv) shall not (x) apply to rights in respect of Swingline Loans or (y) prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis; (v) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment must be approved by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swingline Lender (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); (vi) the parties (other than the Borrower unless its consent to such assignment is required hereunder) to each assignment shall (A) execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent or (B) manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption; (vii) the parties to each assignment shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment and Assumption may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 3.01(d), together with a payment to the Administrative Agent of a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, and such processing and recordation fee shall not apply to any assignments by Goldman Sachs or any of its Affiliates; provided further, that only a single fee shall apply to contemporaneous assignments by or to two or more Approved Funds related to the same Lender (or Affiliates thereof); and (viii) the assigning Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto on the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04, Section 3.05, Section 10.04 and Section 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower or the German Borrower, as applicable, (at its expense) shall promptly

214

NY\6127033.17



execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.07(d).
(e)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error and the Borrower, the German Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans, and (ii) the identity of the other Lender’s (but not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent acts in its capacity as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower for purposes of maintaining the Register as set forth in this Section 10.07(c), Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.” This Section 10.07(c) shall be construed so that the Loans, L/C Obligations and L/C Borrowings are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.
(f)    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the German Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee, excluding, to the extent the list thereof has been made available to all Lenders, Disqualified Institutions (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swingline Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument shall provide that the voting rights of such Participant are limited to matters which, under Section 10.01, require a unanimous vote of all Lenders or the vote of all directly and adversely affected Lenders (to the extent the Participant is directly and adversely affected). Subject to Section 10.07(e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, Section 3.04 and Section 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(b) and such Participant agrees to be bound by such Sections and Section 3.06. To

215

NY\6127033.17



the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other rights or obligations under the Loan Documents (each such register, a “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that the relevant parties, acting reasonably and in good faith, determine that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.
(g)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, Section 3.04 or Section 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and such Participant complies with Section 3.01 and Section 3.06 as if such Participant were a Lender. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01 and Section 3.06 as though it were a Lender.
(h)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower or the German Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, Section 3.04 or Section 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the Lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such

216

NY\6127033.17



Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.
(j)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a Fund may, without the consent of or notice to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and, (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise (unless such trustee is an Eligible Assignee which has complied with the requirements of Section 10.07(b)).
(k)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time any Revolving Lender that is also acting as an L/C Issuer or a Swingline Lender assigns all of its Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans pursuant to clause (b) of this Section, such Revolving Lender may, (i) upon 30 days’ written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ written notice to the Borrower, resign as a Swingline Lender. In the event of any such resignation as an L/C Issuer or a Swingline Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Revolving Lenders a successor L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of such Revolving Lender as an L/C Issuer or a Swingline Lender, as the case may be. If any such Revolving Lender resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by it outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in unreimbursed L/C Borrowings pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If any such Revolving Lender resigns as a Swingline Lender, it shall retain all the rights of a Swingline Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swingline Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund participations in outstanding Swingline Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or Swingline Lender, (A) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender, as the case may be, and (B) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to such Revolving Lender to effectively assume the obligations of such Revolving Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.

217

NY\6127033.17



(l)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Lender may, at any time, without any consent, assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to the Borrower (x) in accordance with Section 2.05(a)(iv) or (y) through open market purchases, in each case, on a non-pro rata basis, provided that:
(i)    no Event of Default has occurred or is continuing or would result therefrom;
(ii)    for the avoidance of doubt, Lenders shall not be permitted to assign Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans to the Borrower;
(iii)    no assignment of Term Loan to the Borrower may be purchased with proceeds of any Revolving Loan or Swingline Loan;
(iv)    each Lender participating in any assignment to the Borrower shall acknowledge and agree that in connection with such assignment, (1) the assignee then may have, and later may come into possession of Excluded Information; (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the German Borrower, the Agents or any other Agent-Related Persons, has made its own analysis and determination to participate in such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information; (3) none of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the German Borrower, the Agents or any other Agent-Related Persons shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Borrower, any other Loan Party and the German Borrower, the Agents and any other Agent-Related Persons, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information; and (4) that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Agents or the other Lenders;
(v)    immediately upon purchase by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.07(j), the Term Loans so purchased shall, without further action by any Person, be deemed cancelled for all purposes and no longer outstanding (and may not be resold), for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to (1) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (2) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (3) the determination of Required Lenders, or for any similar or related purpose, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and, in connection with any Term Loans purchased and cancelled pursuant to this Section 10.07(j), the Administrative Agent is authorized to make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect any such cancellation.
SECTION 10.08    Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and their respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential) on a “need to know” basis; (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by

218

NY\6127033.17



Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (provided that the Agent or Lender that discloses any Information pursuant to this clause (c) shall notify the Borrower as soon as practicable of such requested disclosure to the extent permitted by Applicable Law); (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 or other confidentiality obligations owed to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower for the benefit of the Borrower), (i) to any Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement other than a Disqualified Institution; (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (f) with the prior written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08 or becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or otherwise not in violation of any confidentiality obligation owed to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates; (h) to any state, federal or foreign authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender (provided that the Agent or Lender that discloses any Information pursuant to this clause (h) shall notify the Borrower as soon as practicable following such requested disclosure to the extent permitted by Applicable Law); (i) on a confidential basis (x) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Agent or Lender) in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder; or (j) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder. In addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments, and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information” means all information received from the German Borrower or any Loan Party relating to the German Borrower, any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is available to any Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the German Borrower or such Loan Party and not in violation of any confidentiality obligation known by such Agent or Lender to be owed to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information but in any event a reasonable degree of care.
Each of the Agents and the Lenders acknowledge that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c)

219

NY\6127033.17



it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with Applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.
SECTION 10.09    Setoff. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), each Lender and their Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the German Borrower, any such notice being waived by each of the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) and the German Borrower, and without notice to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held by (other than payroll, trust, petty cash, employee benefit or tax accounts), and other Indebtedness (in whatever currency) at any time owing by, such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties or the German Borrower against any and all Obligations owing to such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall the assets of any Foreign Subsidiary constitute security, or shall the proceeds of such assets be available for, payment of the Obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, it being understood that (a) the Capital Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary does not constitute such an asset and (b) the provisions hereof shall not limit, reduce or otherwise diminish in any respect the Borrower’s or the German Borrower’s obligations to make any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.05(b).
SECTION 10.10    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by Applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may,

220

NY\6127033.17



to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
SECTION 10.11    Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by telecopier.
SECTION 10.12    Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document (other than any intercreditor agreement), the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.
SECTION 10.13    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent not then due and payable, Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable L/C Issuer or Secured Bank Product Obligations and Designated Credit Lines) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding except as set forth in Section 2.03(j).
SECTION 10.14    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity

221

NY\6127033.17



of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.14, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
SECTION 10.15    Service of Process. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02. Such service may be made by mailing or delivering a copy of such process to the German Borrower or such Loan Party at the address set forth in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Section 10.15 shall affect the right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law or affect the right of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to bring any suit, action or proceeding against the German Borrower, each Loan Party or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

Execution Version
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT
GUARANTEE AGREEMENT (this “Guarantee Agreement”), dated as of February 3, 2014, by each of the Persons listed as a “Guarantor” on the signature pages hereto and each other Person who shall become a Party hereto by execution of a Guarantee Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each such Person, individually, a “Guarantor” and, collectively, the “Guarantors”) in favor of Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as administrative and collateral agent for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) (in such capacities, together with permitted successors and assigns, the “Agent”).
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2014 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among (i) W. R. Grace & Co., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), (ii) W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn., a Connecticut corporation (the “Borrower”), (iii) Grace GmbH & Co. KG, a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of Germany, registered with the local court Mainz under number HRA 11357 (the “German Borrower”), (iv) each Lender from time to time party thereto and (v) the Agent. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower and the German Borrower, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions expressly specified in, the Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it is an integral part of a consolidated enterprise and that it will derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the Commitments provided for in the Credit Agreement and from the making of the Loans by the Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders to make Loans are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a guarantee agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lenders to make Loans and provide the Commitments, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Guarantee Agreement.
Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) of all Obligations (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), including all such Guaranteed Obligations which shall become due but for the operation of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States (the “Bankruptcy Code”); provided, however, that Guaranteed Obligations consisting of obligations arising under any Swap Contract shall exclude all Excluded Swap Obligations. For the purposes of this Section, “Excluded Swap Obligations” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation (a “Swap Obligation”) to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) (as amended from time to time, and together with any successor statute, the “Commodity Exchange Act”) if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the

Form of Guarantee Agreement
E-2
NY\6158255.3

 

Guarantee of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any Guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor's failure for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the Guarantee of such Guarantor would otherwise have been effective. If a Swap Obligation arises under a master agreement governing more than one swap, then to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, such exclusion shall apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps for which such Guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon the Guarantee Agreement notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation. Notwithstanding any provision hereof or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in the event that any Guarantor is not an “eligible contract participant” as such term is defined in Section 1(a)(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended, at the time (i) any transaction is entered into under a Swap Contract or (ii) such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder, the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor shall not include (x) in the case of clause (i) above, such transaction and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, any transactions outstanding under any Swap Contract as of such the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.
Each Guarantor agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable (subject to the operation of the Bankruptcy Code) for the Guaranteed Obligations.
2.Guaranteed Obligations Not Waived or Affected. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor expressly waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the German Borrower or any Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of the Guarantee hereunder, notice of protest for nonpayment and all other notices of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the German Borrower or any Loan Party under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other party with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of (including, without limitation, any extension, renewal restructuring, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount of borrowings), or any release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee Agreement, the Credit Agreement, or any other Loan Document or any other agreement, with respect to the German Borrower or any Loan Party or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Agent or any other Secured Party (including, but not limited to, lapse in perfection, impairment of any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations), (d) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document, or any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (e) any existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or (f) the lack of legal existence of the German Borrower or any Loan Party or legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations by the German Borrower or any Loan Party for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the German Borrower or any Loan Party.

Form of Guarantee Agreement
E-3
NY\6158255.3

 

It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guarantee Agreement and the Guarantors’ Guaranteed Obligations hereunder and under each Guarantee Joinder Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment and performance as herein provided.
3.Security. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent and each of the other Secured Parties may (a) take and hold security for the payment of the Guarantee hereunder and the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, the Borrower, the German Borrower, other Guarantors or other obligors, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.
4.Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Agent or any other Secured Party to any of the Collateral or other security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the German Borrower or any Loan Party or any other Person or to any other guarantor of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any payment required to be made by the Guarantors hereunder may be required by the Agent or any other Secured Party on any number of occasions and shall be payable to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement.
5.Indemnification. Each Guarantor, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees to the same extent that the Borrower is required to do so pursuant to Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement and shall be bound by the terms and conditions of Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement as if a signatory thereto. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no Guarantor or Indemnitee shall assert, and each Guarantor or Indemnitee hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee or Guarantor, as applicable, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Guarantee Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
6.No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and as provided in Section 12 hereof with respect to the release of a Guarantor upon the occurrence of certain permitted transactions), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Guarantee Agreement, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).
7.Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the German Borrower or any

Form of Guarantee Agreement
E-4
NY\6158255.3

 

Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the German Borrower or any Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations that are not due and payable, obligations and liabilities in respect of any Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonable satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made). To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Guarantor further waives any defense based on amendment or waiver of any Guaranteed Obligation, non-perfection or release of Collateral or any law or regulation of any jurisdiction or any other event affecting any term of a Guaranteed Obligation. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Agent and the other Secured Parties may foreclose on any security held by one or more of the Secured Parties by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the German Borrower or any Loan Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the German Borrower or any Loan Party without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent that all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnity obligations that are not due and payable, obligations and liabilities in respect of any Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonable satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made). Pursuant to and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election and waives any benefit of and right to participate in any such foreclosure action, even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the German Borrower or any Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not assert any claim in competition with the Agent or any other Secured Party in respect of any payment made hereunder in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or any other proceeding.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payment by such Guarantor of its Guaranteed Obligations under this Guarantee Agreement may be enforced by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties upon demand by the Agent to such Guarantor without the Agent being required (such Guarantor expressly waiving to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Agent) to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against the German Borrower, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the Agent or any Lender or other party to any Loan Document by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY SUCH GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE AGENT, AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
8.Agreement to Pay. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the German Borrower or any Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will promptly pay, or cause to be paid, to the Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Agent or any Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor

Form of Guarantee Agreement
E-5
NY\6158255.3

 

against the German Borrower or any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations that are not due and payable, obligations and liabilities in respect of any Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonable satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made). If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, such amount shall be held for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
9.Representations and Warranties; Covenants.
(a) Each Guarantor warrants and represents to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that, as of the date hereof, (i) it has the applicable power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the terms and provisions of this Guarantee Agreement and has taken all necessary corporate or other organizational action to authorize its execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee Agreement, (ii) it has duly executed and delivered this Guarantee Agreement and, upon execution, this Guarantee Agreement constitutes such Guarantor’s legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that the enforceability hereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws generally affecting creditors’ rights, good faith and fair dealing and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law), (iii) neither the execution, delivery or performance by such Guarantor of this Guarantee Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein (w) will violate any provision of any Applicable Law applicable to any Loan Party or the German Borrower, (x) will conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien (except pursuant to the Collateral Documents) upon any of the property or assets of any Loan Party or the German Borrower pursuant to the terms of any material Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party, the German Borrower or any of their Restricted Subsidiaries, (y) will violate any provision of any Organizational Document of any Loan Party or the German Borrower or (z) require any approval of stockholders or any approval or consent of any Person (other than a Governmental Authority) except as have been obtained on or prior to the date hereof; except with respect to any conflict, breach or contravention or payment (but not creation of Liens) referred to in clause (w), (x) or (z) to the extent that such conflict, breach, contravention or payment would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as of the Closing Date and at the time of each Credit Extension (in each case solely to the extent required on the date for such Credit Extension pursuant to Article 4 of the Credit Agreement), that the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct in all material respects as of such date, unless expressly stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and the Agent and the Secured Parties shall be entitled to rely on each of such representations and warranties as if they were fully set forth herein.
(c)Until (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) the principal of and interest on each Loan and all fees and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations that are not due and payable, obligations and liabilities in respect of any Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines) shall have been paid in full and (iii) all outstanding Letters of Credit have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonable satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have

E-6
NY\6158255.3

 

been made, each Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties that, from and after the date of this Guarantee Agreement until the Borrower is released from its obligations under Article 6 and 7 of the Credit Agreement (or, if earlier, the date such Guarantor is released from this Guarantee Agreement), such Guarantor shall comply with the terms of Article 6 and 7 of the Credit Agreement as if such covenants were fully set forth herein.
10.Limitation on Guarantee of Guaranteed Obligations.
(a)     In any action or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor involving any state corporate law, the Bankruptcy Code or any other state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of such Guarantor under Section 1 hereof would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under said Section 1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Secured Party, the Agent or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
(a)Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guarantee Agreement, the Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guarantee Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, any other state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally or any other similar legislation to the extent applicable to this Guarantee Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor (other than Holdings) under this Guarantee Agreement at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance (or similar legal concepts under Applicable Law) after giving full effect to the liability under this Guarantee Agreement and its related contribution rights set forth herein but before taking into account any liabilities under any other Guarantee (other than any other Guarantee of Indebtedness that is pari passu (in right of payment and claims on Collateral) with the Obligations).
(b)To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on such date, then such Guarantor shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date. For purposes of determining the net worth of any Guarantor in connection with the foregoing, all Guarantees of such Guarantor other than the Guarantee hereunder and any other Guarantee of Indebtedness that is pari passu (in right of payment and claims on Collateral) with the Obligations will be deemed to be enforceable and payable after the Guarantee hereunder and any other Guarantee of such pari passu Indebtedness.
11.Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the German Borrower’s and each Loan Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

E-7
NY\6158255.3

 

12.Termination; Release of Guarantor. This Guarantee Agreement (a) shall automatically terminate when (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (ii) the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations that are not due and payable, obligations and liabilities in respect of any Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonable satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made) under the Credit Agreement shall have been paid in full, and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the German Borrower or any Loan Party or otherwise. This Guarantee Agreement shall automatically terminate as to any Guarantor (x) upon the designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary pursuant to (and in accordance with) Section 6.12 of the Credit Agreement, (y) upon the Disposition of such Guarantor permitted pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement and compliance by the German Borrower and the Loan Parties with all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement relating to such Section 7.05 or (z) otherwise in accordance with Section 10.01(g) of the Credit Agreement. The Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to provide evidence of each release described in this Section 12.
13.Costs of Enforcement. Without limiting any of their obligations under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without duplication of any fees, expenses or indemnification provided for under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Guarantor, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, agrees to pay all Credit Party expenses to the same extent that the Borrower is required to do so pursuant to Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement and shall be bound by the terms and conditions of Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement as if a signatory thereto.
14.Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Guarantee Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and permitted assigns of such party, and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Guarantee Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Guarantee Agreement shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the duties and obligations of the Guarantors may not be delegated or transferred except as permitted by the Credit Agreement. This Guarantee Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.
15.Waivers; Amendment.
(a)No failure or delay of the Agent or any Secured Party in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Agent and of the other Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Guarantee Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any Guarantor shall entitle German Borrower or any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
(b)Neither this Guarantee Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantors with respect to

Form of Guarantee Agreement
E-8
NY\6158255.3

 

which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Agent, subject to any consent of the Lenders required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
16.Copies and Facsimiles. This instrument and all documents which have been or may be hereinafter furnished by the Guarantors to the Agent may be reproduced by the Agent by any photographic, microfilm, xerographic, digital imaging, or other process. Any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business).
17.Governing Law. THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
18.Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement, provided that communications and notices to the Guarantors may be delivered to the Borrower on behalf of each of the Guarantors.
19.Survival of Agreement; Severability.
(a)All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Guarantee Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guarantee Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent or other Secured Party or on their behalf and, notwithstanding that the Agent or other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended, and shall continue in full force and effect until (x) the Commitments have expired or been terminated and (y) the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations that are not due and payable, obligations and liabilities in respect of any Bank Products or Designated Credit Lines and Letters of Credit that have been Cash Collateralized or as to which other arrangements reasonable satisfactory to the Agent and the applicable L/C Issuer have been made) under the Credit Agreement shall have been paid in full. The provisions of Sections 5 and 13 hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Guarantee Agreement or any provision hereof.
(b)Any provision of this Guarantee Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
20.Counterparts. This Guarantee Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Guarantee Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guarantee Agreement.
21.Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.02 through Section 1.12 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guarantee Agreement.

Each Guarantor hereby waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or that such suit is brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(a)    Instruments. If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instrument constituting Collateral and evidencing an amount equal to or in excess of $10,000,000 such Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or

assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request (other than instruments or documents requiring actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction related to Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries); provided that, until the date that is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, no Grantor shall be required to deliver the Instruments set forth on Schedule 1-A.
(b)    Investment Property. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor shall promptly endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request (other than instruments or documents constituting Excluded Assets or requiring actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction related to Capital Stock of Foreign Subsidiaries). If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, upon the Collateral Agent’s request during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities. Each Grantor that is the issuer of Pledged Equity agrees that it will be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to the Pledged Equity issued by it and will comply with such terms insofar as such terms are applicable to it.
(c)    Use and Disposition of Collateral. None of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any collateral assignment, pledge or hypothecation of the Collateral or shall grant any other Lien in respect of the Collateral or shall grant Control (for purposes of security) of any Collateral to any Person, except for Permitted Liens. Except as permitted pursuant to Section 7.05 of the Credit Agreement, none of the Grantors shall make or permit to be made any sale or transfer of the Collateral.
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    Insurance. The Grantors shall maintain insurance on the Collateral as required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement, which insurance shall include the endorsements and provisions required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement. All such insurance policies shall name the Collateral Agent as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, to the extent required by Section 6.07 of the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, exercisable only after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance

and for making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto. In the event any Grantor at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required hereby within the grace periods established therefor in this Agreement or in the Credit Agreement, or to pay any premium in whole or part relating thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation or liability of the Grantors hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in its sole discretion and upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Grantors, obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably advisable. All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this Section 3.06(e), including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, out-of-pocket expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent to the same extent that such costs would be payable by the Borrower in accordance with Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.
(f)    Legend. At the request of the Collateral Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall legend, in form and manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, its Accounts and its books, records and documents evidencing or pertaining thereto with an appropriate reference to the fact that such Accounts have been pledged to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and that the Collateral Agent has a security interest therein.

. Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.01 hereof or any other rights of the Collateral Agent as the holder of a Security Interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor shall, upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, grant to the Collateral Agent to the full extent such Grantor is permitted to grant such a nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors and revocable in accordance with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.13) to use, license or, solely to the extent necessary to exercise such rights and remedies, sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and, to the extent permitted by such Grantor’s existing contractual obligations, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. The use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default and provided, further, that the terms of any license or sublicense shall include all terms and restrictions that are customarily required to

ensure the continuing validity and effectiveness of the Intellectual Property at issue, such as, without limitation, quality control and inure provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to Patents, and copyright notices and restrictions or decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software. In the event the license set forth in this Section 4.01 is exercised with regard to any Trademarks, then the following shall apply: (i) all goodwill arising from any licensed or sublicensed use of any Trademark shall inure to the Grantor; (ii) the licensed or sublicensed Trademarks shall only be used in association with goods or services of a quality and nature consistent with the quality and reputation with which such Trademarks were associated when used by Grantor prior to the exercise of the license rights set forth herein; and (iii) at the Grantor’s request and expense, licensees and sublicensees shall provide reasonable cooperation in any effort by the Grantor to maintain the registration or otherwise secure the ongoing validity and effectiveness of such licensed Trademarks, including, without limitation, the actions and conduct described in Section 4.02 below.
Section . Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security.
(a)Except to the extent that failure to act would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to any registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral owned by a Grantor, each such Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially reasonable steps in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered Intellectual Property Collateral owned by such Grantor and maintain such registered Intellectual Property Collateral owned by such Grantor in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each material Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral and owned by such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition and cancellation proceedings.
(b)Except to the extent that failure to act would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its registered Intellectual Property Collateral would reasonably be expected to prematurely lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in case of a trade secret, become publicly known).
(c)Except to the extent that failure to act would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all reasonable steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks owned by such Grantor, consistent with the quality of (or of higher quality than) the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all commercially reasonable steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks owned by such Grantor abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality.
(d)Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral after the Closing Date (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall

automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such Intellectual Property and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto.
(e)Within ninety (90) days after the date on which the certificate required by Section 6.02(b)(ii) of the Credit Agreement is required to be delivered, each Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate Grant of Security Interest substantially in the form of Exhibits C, D and E, as applicable, with respect to all registered or applied for United States Intellectual Property (other than immaterial Copyrights) owned by such Grantor and registered U.S. copyrights exclusively licensed to such Grantor, but only to the extent the applicable copyright registration number is specficially referenced in such license, to the extent that such Intellectual Property is not covered by any previous Grant of Security Interest so signed and delivered by it. In each case, it will promptly cooperate as reasonably necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to make any necessary or reasonably desirable recordations with the U.S. Copyright Office or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from disposing of, discontinuing the use or maintenance of, causing or permitting expiration, lapse or abandonment, or failing to renew any applications or registrations of any of its Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable business judgment that such actions are desirable in the conduct of its business.

Section . Remedies Upon Default
. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, as applicable, under the UCC or other Applicable Law, and also may, (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and promptly following request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise or as otherwise required hereby; (iv) withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from any Cash Collateral Account and apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Secured Obligations in the manner provided in Section 6.02 of this Agreement; (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of Applicable Law and the notice

requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate; and (vi) with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral, on demand (but subject to any and all rights or licenses previously granted to any Person), cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Intellectual Property Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Intellectual Property Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine (subject to the terms of Licenses that are included in such Intellectual Property Collateral (to the extent such terms are enforceable under Applicable Law)); provided that such terms shall include all terms and restrictions customarily required to ensure the continuing validity and effectiveness of the Intellectual Property at issue, such as, without limitation, quality control and inure provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to Patents, and copyright notices and restrictions or decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software. The Grantors recognize that (a) the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of all or a part of the Collateral consisting of securities by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77 (as amended and in effect, the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of various states (the “Blue Sky Laws”), but may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, (b) that private sales so made may be at prices and upon other terms less favorable to the seller than if such securities were sold at public sales, (c) that neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party has any obligation to delay sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit such securities to be registered for public sale under the Securities Act or the Blue Sky Laws, and (d) that private sales made under the foregoing circumstances shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors ten (10) days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. The Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned, leased, or occupied by any Grantor. The Collateral

Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein. At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor. For purposes of determining the Grantors’ rights in the Collateral, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full, provided that such terms shall include all terms and restrictions that customarily required to ensure the continuing validity and effectiveness of the Intellectual Property at issue, such as, without limitation, quality control and inure provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to Patents, and copyright notices and restrictions or decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software. As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.01 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.
With respect to any Collateral consisting of Inventory, Goods, and Equipment, the Collateral Agent may conduct one or more going out of business sales, in the Collateral Agent’s own right or by one or more agents and contractors. Such sale(s) may be conducted upon any premises owned,

leased, or occupied by any Grantor (subject to any restrictions on the use of such premises set forth in any applicable lease or by Applicable Law). The Collateral Agent and any such agent or contractor, in conjunction with any such sale, may augment the Inventory with other goods (all of which other goods shall remain the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor). Any amounts realized from the sale of such goods which constitute augmentations to the Inventory (net of an allocable share of the costs and expenses incurred in their disposition) shall be the sole property of the Collateral Agent or such agent or contractor and neither any Grantor nor any Person claiming under or in right of any Grantor shall have any interest therein. Each purchaser at any such going out of business sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor.
By accepting the benefits of this Agreement and each other Collateral Document, the Secured Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and each other Collateral Document may be enforced only by the action of the Collateral Agent and that no other Secured Party shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents.
Section . Application of Proceeds

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in Section 8.02), including in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, any amounts received on account of the Secured Obligations shall be applied by the Collateral Agent in the following order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Administrative Agent and to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting fees, indemnities (other than principal and interest, reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit and obligations to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit) payable to the Secured Parties, ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of any outstanding Swingline Loans and amounts drawn under Letters of Credit and not reimbursed by the Borrower or the applicable Revolving Lenders;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest (including, but not limited to, post-petition interest), ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth payable to them;
Fifth, to payment of that portion of the Secured Obligations constituting unpaid principal

of the Loans and Designated Credit Lines and the face amounts, principal and Swap Termination Value under Secured Bank Product Obligations and for the account of each L/C Issuer, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fifth held by them;
Sixth, to the payment of all other Secured Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Secured Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Secured Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof. It is understood and agreed that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.
